Re: is the steering box shaft tapered?
Pretty sure it has a single spline blocked off but can't remember for sure
about a taper. I wanna say, no, but I can't with any certainty. The real reason I'm responding is out of curiosity. Do you want to mount upside down and why? Or, are you just checking to see if someone accidentally put it on wrong? o_o_o_o Best Regards, /| ,[_____], Jim, WP3JQ |ŻŻŻL --O|||||||O- ()_)Ż()_) ŻŻŻŻŻ )_) EM60qk 30.447439N 086.628959W "serg" <sfon@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:934d0785.0404210749.f969bd2@posting.google.co m... > hey guys-here's a quick one-is the shaft on a saginaw steering box > tapered? the one where the pitman arm goes on. i didn't get a chance > to look at mine this morning. can one install the pitman arm upside > down? thanks! 85 cj7 with power steering.... |

Re: is the steering box shaft tapered?
well, i'm putting the tie rods on top of the knuckle and i read somewhere
that this might cause the tie rod end at the pitman arm to hit the tie rod that goes from wheel to wheel. this happens when the left front tire is stuffed in to the fender. the solution is to install the tie rod end at the pitman arm on top of the arm, not at the bottom like stock. i wanted to know if i had to mess with the pitman arm to install the tie rod on top or not. does this make any sense?

What are you working on, people do that with Spring Over Axle
conversions, but it requires a lot of machining.
